Abstract: To assist a user in the correct performance of an activity, video data is acquired. A pose of the user is determined from the video data and an avatar is generated representing the user in the pose. The pose of the user is compared to one or more other poses representing correct performance of the activity to determine one or more differences that may represent errors by the user. Depending on the activity that is being performed, some errors may be presented to the user during performance of the activity, while other errors may be presented after performance of the activity has ceased. To present an indication of an error, a specific body part or other portion of the avatar that corresponds to a difference between the user's pose and a correct pose may be presented along with an instruction regarding correct performance of the activity.

Abstract: A clogged filter detector is provided. In some embodiments, the clogged filter detector may comprise a transmitter, a sensor, and a transmitter resistor array configured to modify the output strength of the transmitter. In some embodiments, the clogged filter detector may comprise a transmitter, a sensor, and a sensor resistor array to configured to adjust the strength of the signal output by the sensor. The clogged filter detector may also include one or more processor configured to adjust the strength of a beam output by the transmitter based on a saturation level.

Abstract: A computing device in accordance with an example includes a first operating system and a second operating system. The computing device includes a controller to select one of the first and second operating systems based on a mode of the computing device, where the first and second operating systems are executed substantially in parallel on a processor of the computing device.

Abstract: Examples of a multi-region touchpad are disclosed. In one example implementation, a multi-region touchpad may include a multi-region touchpad sensor having a region and a secondary region to receive an input corresponding to a movement against the multi-region touchpad sensor and a touchpad controller. The touchpad controller may process the received input, and may transmit touch position indicative of the received input to a touchpad driver of a computing device communicatively coupled to the touchpad device. Further, the touchpad driver may cause an operating system of the computing device to treat a touch with a touch position beginning in the primary region and extending into the secondary region as a continuous touch. Similarly, the touchpad driver may cause the operating system to treat a touch with a touch position beginning in the secondary region as a navigational command to cause the operating system to perform a navigational function.

Abstract: A trailer for towing by a bicycle is disclosed comprising a tow arm adapted for coupling by a hitch to the bicycle. The tow arm is pivotally coupled to an upper portion of the trailer frame and can be collapsed against the frame. The frame can comprise plural frame sections that can also pivot to a collapsed position and a lower shelf foldable to a collapsed position as well. Locking elements can be provided for selectively locking the trailer components against relative pivoting motion. One or more actuators for selectively locking and unlocking the frame components can be provided. One such actuator can simultaneously unlock first and second transversely spaced apart hinge elements. The hitch can comprise a flexible coupling that provides torsional resistance against rolling motion of the trailer, particularly when the trailer is mounted to a seat post or other location above the rear wheel of the bicycle.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to methods, systems, user devices and computer program products for providing network status information. Methods include receiving alarm data for an event from a plurality of sources. The alarm data includes a plurality of alarm records each including a site identifier. The alarm data is processed to create report data. The processing includes assigning an attribute of failed to each of the site identifiers that are specified in more than a threshold number of the alarm records. The report data comprises at least digital loop carrier information. The report data is transmitted to a mechanized loop test (MLT) testing system capable of generating MLT test results. The MLT test results are used to adjust the digital loop carrier information included in the report data, wherein the digital loop carrier information specifies a quantity of digital carrier loop lines that are out of service.
